Open E left-handed chord chart

C#m7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Minor 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open E.

C#m7 uses the notes C#, E, G#, B and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open E is big, direct and highly resonant, which suits left-handed players who want open-string power without losing a major tonal centre. These shapes often appear in right-handed lesson material with confusing string references, so the left-handed diagram removes that friction.
